谈音韵学在敦煌道教文献校勘中的作用

The Role of Phonology in the Collation of Dunhuang Taoist Scriptures

敦煌道教文献中有不少韵文,对这些韵文的韵脚进行分析,可以解决一些校勘问题。分析韵脚字,可以确定异文的是非。对于无校本的文献,分析韵脚可以找出讹误所在,并做些适当的理校。文献中的一些异文与语音转变有关,对异文做音韵学分析可以判别正误并确定讹误产生的原因。

There are many rhymes in Dunhuang Taoist scriptures.The analysis of the rhyming characters in these rhymes is helpful to collation.By analyzing the rhyming characters,we can determine the right and wrong of different texts.For the scriptures that don't have different versions,the analysis of rhyming characters can find out where the errors are,and do some appropriate correction.Some of the different texts are related to phonetic transformation,and the phonological analysis of the different texts can distinguish the right and wrong and determine the cause of the error.
